protesters will take a break for them to go inside. >> we did get a chance to talk to a truck driver if you are a concern shopper here is what he had to say about supplies hitting the stores. >> you can haul in a number of things when we pick up from here we didn'do not know we have. >> if you have the specter late which is said that some stores would not get flat screens in time for the holidays? believe that is entirely possible. you could call any things divvies see these food products from overseas. you have any number of things to deliver. what the people are doing today it directly affects not only them but thousands of people in the united states. >> speaking of the united states that are as air travel out oakland international there is an informational picket going on according to a union representative. they're not disrupting the travelers.

they did not disrupt the last night and did not plan to do it. the duration of the 24 hour strike. what they are fighting for basically is a new contract. >> you have to keep an eye on this big shopping day big feast for thanksgiving. a lot going on that could be affected by this. >> let us go to the south they were a local pastor has resigned from his parish weeks after he not only employed at then defended the use of a convicted saw a molester at a parish festival. that infuriated parents and scandalize the diocese of san jose. >> and 19 year-old former student recognize this person he was working the sound system at a paris festival parents complained that set off a heated exchange between the parents and the rev. and now the fallout is the reverend has stepped down. the 14 year- old teenager accused of kidnapping and sexually assaulting a 65 year-old

good morning thank you for waking up with the kron 4 morning news star tracker for showing light rain for our east bay spots. you'll need your win sure wipers highway 24 approach of the tunnel picking up light rain toward will pass. it looks like we're starting to try things out for the north bay a little bit of light rain south of novato and highway 37. as we take a look sprinkles ahead of this cold front that is approaching northern california. again this is a relaxed we can compare to was of an organ.

>> yet it win advisory in effect with a greater like tall area. taken over to futurecast 4:06 p.m. later tonight mainly showers north of the golden gate bridge. a yellow on your screen indicates moderate to heavy rain. it will push its way south into the overnight hours. we have already seen up to one-third of an inch of rain for santa rosa. that will increase overnight to more morning. out of the system we expect its origin have by the north bay hills. about one-half inch of the rest of san francisco bay. i am looking at potentially messy morning commute waking up a.m. tomorrow morning. yellow indicates hevery right for the san jose and mountain view area. for your afternoon highs in san francisco co 64. 67 cochrane a word. your kron 4 7 day around the bay forecast shows drier conditions in to thanksgiving. we will continue with dry weather as

we pushed in closer to t friday. we will continue with the dry pattern has restored the next work week. >> george. >> we are looking at a different pattern a pattern of slow traffic of the san mateo bridge for just seconds ago we saw stopped traffic at the toll plaza. that is the case now. we look at the accordion slowdown. a stop and go situation starts at the base of the high-rise and gradually worked its way back to the toll plaza. the dry times or 50-18 minute. that means from time to time--15 and-18 minutes. southbound that would side there is an overturn it is not in the lines it is on the right-hand shoulder. the emergency vehicles are blocking the right hand lane. that is why there is the short stretch of slow traffic on 280 southbound. i

do not think it is a bed of delay to detour. you will need to give yourself a few extra minutes. looking at the right of the bay bridge in the west bound commute you will find a back of about 18-20 minutes. no surprises a fairly easy ride and when the advisory was issued in the early morning hours. the golden gate bridge is still wet, but no delays for southbound traffic and is the trip across the span. >> i told him not to worry about the cameras are the stars does play your game. >> colin is the man. i think he did a great job i am very proud of him. i take my hat off to him he did some great things to help was when the game. >> colin did an outstanding job. he did a great job

growing with accuracy he did a nice job running the game plan everything he did was exemplary. i wanted to come out and show love show that i could be a starter. and that is what i have tried to prove since i have been in the league. >> yes. so what now? that is the big question after that spectacular performance with kaepernick in the win against the bears. >> good morning. how are you? >> i want you to settle this to you realize i have got from every end of the spectrum telling me he should stay. alex smith should not go back in. here is what are aharbaugh should do. >> ashley you should be worth i cannot hear you.

actually you should be worried. i cannot hear you. >> maybe i need to change the mike. i cannot even hear you hold on second. >> better than rg 3. why don't you say alex y. recover half kaeperncik play for a little longer. >> this guy was so good last night i do believe there is a old sang in sports that you are not supposed to lose your job because of injury. you know how this will be decided i think in the locker room the players know who is better. nobody is

point to come right out. they came close to saying that kaepernick is better. i think you have to be fair about this and say the last year and a half in particular smith has been good. they have won the majority of their gains. but just on physical gifts what he can do this guy is better than alex. >> you talk about the player sound bites vernon davis said i felt like someone took the handcuffs off. >> that is the thing about vern and davis he is sometimes too honest. >> is it like an understudy. n a play where the person and they are sick in their under study comes in and you put the guy back is he supposed to go back? >> what about brady can blesoe what about montana and young. we saw how that went down. how does it work

we see these guys knocked each other off all the time. >> no one wants to come out and say this i think the best thing if you are alex smith and i am not going to speak for him, but i am being realistic. for kapernick to start in oil as an had a bad game he loses at alex get back in. >> how does harbaugh handle this? does he take a chance. >> i think you have to start him again. i will say it again you know, the team knows they see the guys every day. this may not be an indictment of smith it may be that this guy he is more talented than smith. he throws the ball better. he runs better. it is just one of those things where you could watch him in the game last night he is physically

and i keeping physically, just from what we see item of you have to watch him play for tin cans to know how because the game mentally how he deals with the situation. just physically he is better than smith. >> you look at the way, brady endorsed. and it was like gangbusters. even though he entered for bledsoe before they were ready. bledsoe was kind of going down. if you look at young he was on his way down best-montana was on his way down. >> here is the thing the coach knows and the players know and no one is quick to come out again and tell you very much. if in the coach's mind harbaugh are thinking it is time i am waiting for

an opening. once there is an open he goes in. the same with bledsoe and brady. i am sure the coach says once there is an opening i am putting green. if he plays like i think he can that is it i would not be surprised if this not the same deal. >> you know what ever is it has to be quick. >> when things are prolonging that is bad blood. that does not work out. >> tebow has not really play this year. when you bring in another guy it's like smith knows now likekaeprnick is right behind him. that is messy. >> competition is good but not with his iwhen is it a leado position. maybe if you are a linemen. i think to start to

feel comfortable you have to know that it is your job. all i know i wawill have a great sport stock today. >> like you said does harbaugh gold you take a look time out or you're out. >> you and i will be the first ones to say this because people here the only way i think it will work out for smith kaepernick start sunday in new orleans loses the game and they will say let's put alex back in. >> we will see you very. what is a nice big question mark what he is making.
